Crossroads RMC 0 29900 Article rating: 3.0

L3 Electron has selected Crossroads RMC to develop a connector from Kardex Remstar’s Power Pick Global software to Infor LN. Power Pick Global facilitates batch picking, allowing an operator to fill multiple orders at one time, increasing productivity significantly. Multi-user-picking provides the flexibility to easily add additional labor to further increase picking speeds when order volume is high. Optical indicators such as Pick-to-Light and Put-to-Light direct the operator to the exact location of the pick, increasing accuracy and reducing the number of picking errors. L3 Electron is a technology company specializing in the manufacture of microwave devices for ground-based, airborne and satellite communications and radar. Go live is scheduled for late Q3 of 2017.

BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Operational Inefficiencies

Anthony Etzel 0 24166 Article rating: No rating

Two big sources of inefficiencies in manufacturing are paper and spreadsheets. I know that you love ‘em, but they are the cause of more problems than you probably realize. Think of how long it takes you to get paper based data into the hands of those who can do something valuable with the data.

  • Is the information captured correctly?
  • Can everyone access the information?
  • Is this an accurate representation of what’s going on across all operations?

Make your shop floor paperless and put systems in place that talk to one another and automatically pull and push data to and from your ERP so that you can look in one place for all the information you need to run your business effectively.

If you’re not doing this today, you might as well be burning money.

BPCS/LX TIP OF THE WEEK: REGULATORY ENHANCEMENTS

Anthony Etzel 0 21676 Article rating: No rating

In LX 8.3.5, a new report has been added that meets the regulatory reporting requirement for purchase and sales transactions (invoices, debit notes, credit notes) of a company. The report refers to transactions from the previous year (January – December). The report is available in an eFile layout.

The enhancement provides a new display and batch programs to extract the data and format the reports. New logs are provided in addition to the extraction report.

This enhancement will assist the user in meeting the regulatory requirement for reporting transactions.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

TECHNOLOGY: Facility Security Ranges

Previously, a user could complete the Cost Transfer (CST920) process for any range of facilities regardless of their security settings established in SYS600. This enhancement verifies the user security settings set up in SYS600 before processing cost transfers for a range of facilities in CST920. If the user has authority for a facility range, but there are facilities within that range that are not authorized, the program skips those facilities and completes the cost transfer process.

FINANCE: Expiration Date for Quotes and RMAs

A Cancel-by-Date has been added to the Quote Header and RMA Header panels. This optional field can limit how long a quote or authorization to return items for credit is valid.  

For quotes, this enhancement provides an optional end date for the quote. For RMAs, it provides an optional date by which the customer must return the items to receive the credit listed on the RMA.

The Cancel-By-Date prints on the Order Acknowledgement and RMA Acknowledgement to inform the customer of this important limitation to the quote or return authorization. 

An Order Entry user cannot copy the quote to create a new order if the Cancel By Date has caused the quote to expire.

OPERATIONS: Default Split Salesperson to Customer Orders

Sales commissions are based on combinations of the Primary, Split, and Line-Level salesperson and the commission codes defined for the customer and item. You can now define the Split Salesperson in the same master files as the Primary Salesperson. While the Primary Salesperson is mandatory, the Split Salesperson is optional. It defaults during Order Create using the identical hierarchy as Primary Salesperson. Using Split Salesperson provides more flexibility in the calculation of sales commissions. The ability to define a default Split Salesperson improves the accuracy of sales commission qualification and calculation and reduces maintenance and adjustments necessitated by corrections.

Previously, a user could complete the Cost Transfer (CST920) process for any range of facilities regardless of their security settings established in SYS600. This enhancement verifies the user security settings set up in SYS600 before processing cost transfers for a range of facilities in CST920. If the user has authority for a facility range, but there are facilities within that range that are not authorized, the program skips those facilities and completes the cost transfer process.
